Pesto Chicken Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and whole wheat linguine tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and wilted spinach for a savory, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.25 oz whole wheat linguine
1.5 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water.
Add the cooked pasta, sliced chicken, pesto, and reserved pasta water to the skillet.
Toss everything together over low heat until the sauce is creamy and evenly coats the noodles.
